ACM team
advances
to national
The Association for Computing
Machinery programming team won first
place in the graduatefuniversity division
Jan. 18 at the ACM South-Central
Regional Contest at the University of
Texas in Arlington.
Twenty-four teams from universities
and colleges in Oklahoma, Louisiana and
Arkansas competed in the graduate and
undergraduate divisions. Since 1978 the
ACU team has competed at the
graduate X university level.
Dr. Dwight Caughfield, associate pro-
fessor of computer science and sponsor of
the team, said, "The university division
was easier for us to compete in because the
types of problems presented in that com-
petition were more like what the team
members were doing in their classes."
He said the graduatefuniversity level
was for teams from schools that had
graduate programs, and the
undergraduate or college division was for
teams from schools that did not have
graduate programs.
"But each school can decide whether it
wants to compete at the university or col-
lege level," Caughfield said. "For the past
two years Baylor and Angelo State have
competed at the college level. It's unusual
in this region for a school that doesn't have
a graduate program to compete at the
university level."
At the regional contest, the ACU team
and the team from Baylor University in
Waco qualified for the national program-
ming contest, which was conducted Feb.
9-ll in Indianapolis, Ind. ACU did not
place in the meet.
Caughfield said contest winners were
determined by the number of problems a
team could solve in a limited amount of
time by preparing a computer program.
"The problems the team had to solve
were similar to the problems that they en-
countered in their course work," he said.
